I'm just saying you REALLY should keep your puffy covers (3D covers or what ever they are...:s) I'm saying this because the first time I brought Malice to school my friends (and other class mates) were poking the cover saying it was cool and creepy and a lot of them liked it and kept mentioning how they are going to buy it and show off the cover to their friends... It made it me laugh a bit because I was suddenly popular because of this book... :P!!! All I'm saying is that your 3D covers are getting a lot of popularity on you... I know it cost a lot of money to make them BUT you will still have a lot of people buying your AWESOME book :P! i also liked the idea of your "comic-in-a-book" idea... I CANT WAIT TILL HAVOC COMES OUT! :D :D :D Hi, I’m Owen and I’m a really big fan of the book Malice that you wrote and I’m 10.

I was quite impressed and decided to peak under the cover of poison. After you amazed me again i read Alaizabel which was lovely. I finished Kerosene about a week ago and didn't think as highly of it as the crazy swirling fantasies I'm used to reading by you but it was still a good read. I am almost finished with Retribution Falls and love it so far and just recieved The Fade and The Braided Path series in the mail. Your imaginative twisting plots of unimaginable worlds has inspired me enough to make me consider an attempt at writing a book of my own. I was hoping for some advice and news on any other books you are planning on writing after The Black Lungs Captain and Havoc. Since I first read Storm Thief I cant open a book unless it is a work of yours. PLEASE contact me at the e-mail I provided with any tips or news. Much appreciated from Chris to Chris.

I'm usually not that fond of the fantasy trilogy concept for the same reasons you have stated elsewhere on your website Chris and agree in most instances it's all been done before..different characters/same situations. Thanks for breaking the mould! Two months ago I bought 'The Fade' and was blown away. It's the best book of any type I have read in quite some time, due to your descriptive writing and plotline. I never wanted it to finish, it was that good! I don't know if you've ever thought of writing a sequel, but to me the ending leaves enough scope for one. Currently I'm reading 'Retribution Falls' and glad to read that you've planned a sequel. I'm only halfway through (Pg 180) and once again I'm immersed in the plot and your well drawn characters. The cover by Stephan Martiniere is brilliant, he's obviously read it.

It was the first book series i read of Chris's and I read it after i fell in love with The Storm Thief. after that I couldnt get enough and I havent stopped sense. I also live in the U.S. so I had to buy them from Amazon and I did not care how much i payed for shipping. I wanted to read them so bad. I'm trying so hard to get a copy of Retribution Falls and I am currently reading The Broken Sky Series. I have read almost all Chris's books and because of them I have been inspired to become a great writer and I try to take as much of his advice as possible to improve my own.

I am a film scout (Paramount Pictures, Playtone), and I'm trying to speak to your representative. Shame on Scholastic, who told me via e-mail that they would respond to me in 2 weeks....

The Weavers trilogy and the Fade don't have a US publisher, that's why you can't find them. You'll have to order them from England or Canada, which I guess would be closer and cheaper. I don't think Scholastic US are planning to do a re-release of Broken Sky in the States, so if you want the bound up editions, it's the same deal. @ Thomas.

Finding you here is near-on impossible, so I've been resolved to amazon/e-bay. Hopefully I'll be seeing those so I don't have to pay rediculous shipping, and I can add them to my Chris Wooding collection.
